WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Oct. IL, 1887.
There is strong probability that the
President on his return will call an ex'
ira session of congress. His trip to the
great West has gwen him enlarged
ideas of the grandeur and magnitude o.
the country over which he providential,
ly presldes. If he had taken that trip
years ago, he would have been a wiser
man and the country would have been
saved vast amount of financial trouble
and anxiety. There is time yet for him
to atone for the neglect of his education
of earlier years, and if he returns with
the thought that the presidency of q
great nation means something more
than mere political chicanery, the time
and expense of his trip will be of small
account.

Ed. Register - Sweden presents q
grand example of the missionary power
of the gospel. In that old land, where
State church had for the centuries
past been held up by national enact
ment and demanded support from the
has gone iii and now is doing a grand
work. Some twenty years ago the NJ.
E. Church first sent missionaries there.
They had hard work to gain hearing,
but they labored on in faith. Now
they have 15,17S Methodists in Swed
en- and Finland. Over $40 have been
added the past year. They have raised
over So, 900 themselves for the general
missionary work of the church. They
will soon pay back oil the money spent
on them. But this is but small item
| n the account. These Methodist con-
verts believe and practice heartfelt
religion. This religion shows itself in
the life and conduct of the votares. 1t
makes the lazy and improvident man
one of industry and thrift. The drunk
ard leaves his cups and the profound
swearer becomes a man of chaste lam
| guage.
| VITAL RELIGION IN FRANCE.
1t is but of yesterday that infidel
France has permitted or received free
gospel. But now, much more of relig-
ious liberty is enjoyed than formerly.
There are now over thirty Methodist
ministers working there with encour-
aging results. Last year they raised
over 1900 for the spread of the work.
| One minister writes that there are
| French Christians who will walk or 8
miles, through the crags or deep defiles
of mountains, to attend prayer or class
meeting. That is more than some
| Christians Of our oWn country will do!
That land must. however, be eyangel-
lied by workers raised up among the
people! 1t will not do to send men to
them, as is done to heather nations
But the leaven is working in that
powerful but vaccillating people. A
living gospel that touches the hearts
and lives of that people is just what is
wanted. Nothing will so soon free the
people from their vanity and fashiona-
BILE crime as religion of the heart as
taught by Christ and his Apostles.
| Happy would it be for that Govern
ment if all it's subjects were fully de-
voted to the heart doctrines Of the Cos
pei. This late movement of evangelical
religion is there to stay and bless. 1t
is hopeful fact that all the churches
are so thoroughly enthused with the
gospel spirit of missions. will be glad
in the future to gather some facts about
the missionary enterprises of the vari-
Gus churches Of America. A church
that is not missionary in spirit and
works to-day, must do one of two
things: either enter the field and work
or fall behind and cease to be acknowl-
edged of God or men as part of his
army in the work of subduing this
world to Christ and his peaceful, but
all-powerful gospel.

The recent death of an employe Ba-
con, a Republican, in one of the depart
ments at Washington, "short" in his
accounts about $4,000, is suggestive.
Three years ago the people voted
"change" in governmental housekeep-
ing. This change, as they wanted it,
meant not only the removal of Pres
ident and few Cabinet officers, but a
change clean through, from top TO bot
tom. If the dictum of the people had
been fully carried out, not clerk nor
a Federal officer of any sort not in
sympathy with the Democratic admin
lstration would now be holding on.
And the people were right. How
many Bacons there are left can only
be surmised. 1t is, as we have said, a
suggestive fact that if a higher power
